Need to ask a question re: rallies in Washington, DC over Memorial
Day weekend. Looks like my daughter and her family are flying me there for 4 days from the 24th of May to about the 29th.

Anything going on -- I would LOVE to be at a protest in D.C.

Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

1. I don't know if there will

be any small anti war protest or not but Memorial Day Weekend DC pretty much belongs to Rolling Thunder. They used to be in support of Vietnam Vets and POWMIAs but sounds like they have taken a turn to the right these days.

Edited to add- website http://www.rollingthunder1.com/index.html and reading their bylaws etc maybe they haven't gone off target nationally. It used to be a pretty big mix of people with different political and personal beliefs tied together in wanting to do something about POWMIAs and help veterans.

3. Check Out This Link... I Know they Are Planning Something Around
4/28/2007, but I haven't heard of anything else right now. http://www.a28.org

I have a couple more, but I think they're listed at the same link.... it has a lot of information. I just signed up to be on their email list and they are relatively new.
